Abstract

A flat light source with high and uniform intensity includes a reflective frame having several shapes, a ultraviolet insulated layer and a substrate covered on the reflective frame to form a placing space. The ultraviolet light sources are equipped in the placing space, and the ultraviolet light directly or indirectly excites the fluorescence powder layer to radiate the visible light. The visible light directly or reflectively passes through the ultraviolet insulated layer and the substrate to form a flat light source with high and uniform intensity. The present invention can be achieved without the seal and vacuum processes, so that the cost is reduced and the lamp burned situation is solved. The material or shape is selected accordingly, that will have the manufacture flexibility and convenience. Enlarging the coating area of the fluorescence powder layer and enhancing the reflective rate of the reflective frame improve the illumination efficiency.
